I went to the NGA today to see the Rajah quilt. It was sewn by the convict women on the ship Rajah on their journey to Australia in 1841. The women sewed it to show they weren’t all useless, lazy, thieving, wanton females.

I was unprepared for 2 things:
- the size and beauty of it
- and how sad it made me feel.
